I see. I guess I'm too stuck in "does this beat Cryx? No? Not interested"-mentality. Those are a lot of neat innteractions. Not probably a heavy brick, but I wonder if drake spam could make a comeback. Maybe X2, maybe Hexy2, maybe Xekaar, who knows. Pow14 magic sprays will do alot of work, and there's just not good targets when everything is a light. |

Can you guys reflect to the list I posted? It's not how I would build it. I'm not feeling the Rhinodon here (and I'm a giant Don chearleader). I'd convert the Rhino and BB into 2 Sentrys. Honestly, I'd be working hard to get to to three free beasts. Probably take a Scarab Pack to help with Scenarios and the ability to spread out and kill infantry. Maybe something like this: Xerxis1 Sentry Sentry Tiberion Gladiator Razor Worm Basilisk Drake Agonizer (free) Zaadesh1 Scarab Pack Krea (free) Krea (free) Max Handlers I've gotten gun-shy about having too few models with too small of a control range. You don't need the Drake on Zaadesh to get flank plus Tag Team, you'll usually want both Kreas on the same heavy. Anyway, that's how I would try it, but that's me. |

For Flank you don't need the Drake on Zaadesh, but for Tag Team you do. Of course you can send in Zaadesh himself (or the other Krea in your list). But if I bring 2 Kreas I'd put one of them on X1 surely to allow him the occasional animus.
The Scarab Pack is not a bad idea, althouth I still find their price to be a bit steep for what they do.
With such a small control zone I thought the Willbreaker was pretty essential.
Also two min Handlers works just so so much better than one max.
What are your issues with the Rhinodon? It's cheap, it has a good animus that stacks nicely with the Feat (and DW) and it's faster than a Titan. It doesn't hit as hard but the Feat helps that too.
I've just never been a fan of the (multiple) Sentry playstyle.

It's just personal decisions. I don't think I can run IW without 3 free beasts. If so, you cannot have multiple units period. As for the Rhinodon, if you want the animus up you don't do work. You also tax fury to the max.
